Description Andriy Utkin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

I am not really sure who is to blame, crossdev, Portage, eclasses or ebuilds.

This happens at least to
* plugdev group
* sshd user & group
* messagebus user & group (dbus package)
* man user & group

I have built a system via cross-compilation with crossdev.

I am using Portage 2.3.62, Gentoo tree at commit 1f3f682b2af0 (Mar 4) with Chewi's cross-compilation patchset https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/9822 .
